Measurement using Playground M2 Which Unit of length is appropriate?
First grade students will view length, height, and width and measure using inches. Students will use an on screen ruler and measure items and decide how long, tall, or wide each item might be. The http://hbschool.com/jingles/jingles site offer more practice also. This site will provide an example which can be projected on the Smart board then things can be drawn in to provide more practice. You have to explain and show first graders what an inch is on a ruler and let them practice using a ruler. When students grasp knowledge of inches then move to centimeters. Always explain where to start when using a ruler or these young ones might begin in the middle or at the end of the ruler instead of beginning with 0.

This not only teaches measurements in math, but you could also use for a Science lesson as well.
